Smart Home Group Inc. is a Group of Companies which work together to fulfill One Target:

(Techno Lifestyle Product Development and Solution Packaging)

The Sister Companies: SmartHome Group and Digitcom Group Inc always Work Hand In Hand to Make Sure that All Market Expertise, Integration Methods, Latest Appliances and Designs, New Electronics and Furniture are all Integrated in Harmonic and Elegant Way under a Single Automation Control Platform.

Since 1986 Till Date, the Digitcom and Smarthome Family has walked a stable growth Path making it one of the Most Stable Industries in its sector today.

The Firm Has Established Several Hubs to Tackle All Trade Needs, and Tech support Requirements:

An Entity Created to Market Smart Industry Products, and To Out-Source and OEM Integrated Products that Create Complete Solution Packages.

Technology:
“Smart-BUS ®” is a patented Protocol (Patent No: 201110123081.0) Based on “Advanced RS485” 64 Bits Communication. This 2-Way Smart-BUS Communication Protocol was Designed Mainly for Home Automation Industry and thus many call it today “SmartHome-BUS” or Simply “S-BUS”.
The S-BUS Engine Drive Many Hardware Devices, Command, Monitor and Control them simultaneously in smooth and confirmed 2-Way Communication ability using Simple 4-Core Twist Pair Data Cable that is widely available in the market.
The Smart-BUS has Multi Edge technology to Easily Communicate with multi Nodes; Wirelessly via the “W-BUS” in what is called the “S-Mesh®” Environment. Also It can Communicate with FTP/UDP/TCP Via what is Called the “S-Net” Environment. This “Smart-BUS” Multi-Edge Environment and the Core System technology are Called collectively: the “Smart-Cloud®”

History of Innovation Idea:
The smart-BUS or as it was First Called SBUSPro (smart BUS Professional). Has been created as vision with clear targets to become the world’s new Standard of Automation Industry:

To have Open Protocol System
To Have a System that can Communicate with Thousands of Nodes
To Have a system that communicates easily over long Distances
To have a system that is Green and do not consume lots of energy
To have Smart system with 2-way communication, Monitoring and control.
To create a consortium of many manufacturers that can create solutions as PnP

When designing the system, it was also mandatory to understand Installation complexity and protection and well as Tolerance needs:

When Creating the smart Bus, Many Other Manufacturers and Giant Technologies where the source of inspiration, and the trigger of such system that is Almost Bullet proof.
As well known to many:
Internet is the Best in Bandwidth and Number of Nodes xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (But internet Need Network Devices every 150 Meters in Average)
KNX is the Best in Open Protocol Concept and consortium Concept (But it is not Fully open)
RS-485 is best in Distances (BUT require special Topology)

Thus We have Created A mix of all the best in the Above:
S-BUS: as an Advanced RS-485 with flexible Topology and Super Long Distances that Embraces Internet Subnets Ability to connect More than 64000 Devices in one single Net, yet it is based on KNX Open concept.

Industry Giants that we learned from, took their Best and Avoided their Mistakes became accordingly added value Contributors to our Design:

We also understood from our Experience that many Installation site Issues always exist and include the following:
Working in Dark Locations (No Power yet)
Working in Harsh Temperatures (Hot/Cold)
Some Installers are Color Blind
Sometimes cables are mixed with CCS, CCA or Other
Sometimes communication and control cables must pass with Electrical Runs.
Sometimes Installers connect loads then measure after its late
Many go Cheap or easy and do not install protection fuses and breakers

Topology:
Using Smart-BUS Technology, installer can connect up to 250 Devices on One Cable that can reach in length up to *(1600 meters). and up to 64000 devices on a single RSIP Network Bridge. where over 16,000,000 can be monitored and controlled in one Network of 250 Bridges.

Meaning that: If installer Link Several BUS Loops together using Network bridges, then up to 65280 devices per network Bridge can be smoothly linked and up to 254 Loops like wise can be Networked together as one Body.

Smart-BUS has very flexible connectivity: It uses Mainly Daisy Chain, it can be either an Open or closed Loop/Ring, Can Work in star Topology wiring, or Even Grid or Mesh.

S-BUS Operating Voltage:
The S-BUS Engine can work at wide Voltage DC Range between 8-32Volts. And is considered Green as it consumes between 20-32mA per device during operation. The S-BUS uses 4 Wires (2-Pairs): one Pair for Data Communication and the other for Power. The Smart-BUS has Also Several Lines of protection like: Reverse Polarity Protection, Short Circuit protection, Overload Protection, Overheat protection, and other..

Open Protocol:
Smart-BUS Patented Protocol is also an Open Protocol provided to Professional Developers and Integrators Free of Charge. (Any Registered Organization / Developer Can Easily and directly get the complete Protocol documents that they need after filling and Signing the proper Quality Network Paperwork). The Inventors Mr. Firas Mazloum Mr. Mendel Lin, and Mr. Turath Mazloum has Made Sure to patent the Protocol and BUS technology To Make Sure that it remains Open to Serve Humanity and Environment.

Smart-BUS Enabled Devices and solutions:
Several Home Automation and Building Control Devices are widely available worldwide today, and provided through several Developers and Manufacturers.

How is Smart-G5 Different?
If we have BEEN amazed today by the current Smart-G4 ability, Topology, SPEED and Communication features that include:
Subnet
Device ID
Channel
Value, Limit, Delay
Area, Sequence
Flags, Universal Switches and Triggers

You shall be super amazed by the coming Features that will enhance speed and Flexibility to control City size installation:
Addded to all the above, Each Device and Channel shall also carry the following Addressing Criteria:
Building/Group/Category (255)
Floor / Zone (255)
Port Type (255)
Memory/Preset (255)

G5 in Short comparison:
If Now it takes Smart-G4 almost 1-2 Minutes to Set 300 Rooms systems fully with (Music , Lights to be at 50%, AC’s at certain temp 24 degrees, fan speed Med and Mode Cool) as example. While with G5, it shall Take only 3-5 Seconds.

G5 can control all Airport and stadium systems as fast as 3-6 Seconds.

Flexibility of G5:
If you like to Control only Lights, or Only AC, or Only Doors, or Only Pumps.. etc.
And those you need are Located in x Floor, or Building,
and Serve only Public, or Management, or Private or .. etc.

All you need to Send is Simply:
a Single Command to do all those specific needs or presets at the blink of an eye or in Sequence.
Simplicity and Speed is what Defines G5.
